SHUT-INS SERENADED
The annual Carol Pilgrimage, start
ed 20 years ago, was held in Cedar
Springs when all the shut-ins in the
district were visited by more than 40
singers of all ages. Afterwards Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Bunning served hot
drinks and Christmas cake to the
singers.
May your cabbration Mark the beginning
of a very successful year to cornel
centrated feed — it has more food energy packed into |
every pound, and every pound contains more of the $1
food elements that chicks need to grow on, too —
more protein, more vitamins and more minerals.
That’s why three pounds of SHUR-GAIN Chick
Starter produce as much growth as four pounds of
ordinary starter, as tests at the SHUR-GAIN Dem
onstration Farm prove. With SHUR-GAIN, your
chicks will get off to a flying start with little mor
tality.
